Answer: Liposuction in an 80 yo with DM The general health of a patient must always be factored in when considering an elective procedure. The question is always whether or not the benefits outweigh the risks. This is something that the surgeon needs to determine after a detailed evaluation of the patient. If it is determined that the patient will benefit from a liposuction procedure, sometimes modifications can be done to mitigate the risks. For example smaller areas done under local anesthesia in a staged manner might benefit the patient. Certainly the diabetes needs to be managed well. It really comes down to evaluating each patient on a case by case basis. Best wishes.

Answer: Surgery If your primary physician gives approval for elective surgery and your A!C is below 6.7, then you might be a candidate. Please discuss this with your physician first.

Answer: Can an 80 year old male with type 2 diabetes have liposuction to reduce waist size? Thank you for posting your interesting question. It is possible for you to have liposuction, but you will have to be examined by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who is experienced with liposuction and obtain pre operative medical clearance. Obviously, your goals must be clear with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon before your liposuction surgery. Best wishes, Richard Wellington Swift. M.D., F.A.C.S.
